So the market is only pricing in a tiny chance of rate cut on May 1, but is pricing in a high likelihood of a rate cut by July 31.They Said It“With a 0.7% increase from January to February 2024, which is almost double the monthly increase recorded before the pandemic, spring home price gains are already off to a strong start despite continued mortgage rate volatility.

Hi Kenneth, I work with a few spec builders on the lending side in Charlotte, NC and am always keeping an eye out for off market deals, including land.

I'm not aware of any other real-estate related options, and outside of having a business of some sort to have write-offs, I only know of the traditional things like maxing out retirement contributions and such.  

So, for as long as the note we hold doesn’t pay off, we collect $10,722 monthly interest and pay out $4,100 on the underlying note - of which prox $2,000 is interest with the balance principal reduction (since our note is interest only this represents note equity buildup).  

Subject to is NOT a loan assumption; it is purchasing a property without paying off OR assuming the mortgage.  

All the off market stuff is held ransom by the local wholesalers who have a major footprint in the local markets. 

It's a ridiculously good asset class when you  know what you are doing, but living off of cash flow is really, really hard unless you have some paid off properties or a lot of time for rent appreciation to do its magic.

First off brand new full-time agents don't magically gain more knowledge or experience than a part timer.

Purchase price: $270,000 Cash invested: $100,000 We recently closed a successful investment deal on a duplex that we acquired off-market through a strong relationship with one of the largest investors in our town.

@Benjamin P.First off, congratulations on closing your first real estate deal with your dad!
